With the score tied, Beam dropped the ball when tackled fiercely, and Clark, grabbing it, raced 45-yafddown the side lines for the touchdown that won the game.

The game was played under a warm sun, and the heat evidently bothered the Gentlemen, who after the first period, when they scored twice, lost their drive, The Frogs got better as the game progressed. 1 Tim floiitlomon pained much ANOTHER RECORD FOR BONOWITZ. JOE BONO WITZ, the fleet-footed tender of the center field berth of, the Shreveport club, further established hii claim to being a ball hawk king of the minor leagues in the past season when he turned in a fielding average of .997 for the year's play, This rnark breaks the record made by the Cuban, Jacinto Calvo, of the Fort Worth team in 1924. Calvo that year fielded for a percentage of .990. Bonowitz' average not only tops the work of all Texas League outfielders of all times but covers any fielding mark made by any player in any other position.

The highest fielding mark for a catcher is credited to Alexander of San Antonio in 1907, and Lemon, of the same club, in 1911, with a mark of .994. Ed Konetchy had an average of .996 at first base for Fort Worth in 1925, one point shy of Bono witz' figure. Chick Knaupp holds rrrereport in 1919. Ens, playnrg the mark of .970 that still stands. Tanner has the best average of the shortstops with .965 made in 1915.

Booe set a mark for left fielders with .986 while playing with San Antonio in 1920. Stellbauer, with Houston in 1920, fielded for a percentage of .985 to top the right fielders. HERB i) cPENNocKrTi LEAGUE'S STRONG MAN. TINY OWENS of San Antonio was the iron man of the Texas Ltague'in 1926. He worked in 57 games and broke a record held by Osborne of 51, made with Wichita Falls in 1923.

Owens worked in 294 innings but Brady with Dallas in 1915 pitched 382 innings to set a record. Owens and Walkup, of Fort Worth, were tied for leadership of the league in games won with 22, last season. TEXAS LEAGUERS THE Texas League has more than series Dlay between the Yankees and the Cardinals. On the staff of the St. Louis Nationals are Class A circuit of the neighboring state.

This is what brings the world series games close to home and wins many supporters for the Cardinals this Six of the eight players graduated from the Houston club In the last few seasons. Ihev are: Catcher Ernie Vick. ritcher A. Kein hart, First Baseman Jim Bottomley, Third Baseman Lester Bell, Outfielders Ray Blades, Chick Hafey. Bill Killifcr, who draws pay from St.

Louis as coach, was a catcher with the Houston Buffaloes hack in 1907. The other former Texas Leaguers with the Hornsby i a At il at, squad is Vic Keen, pitcher, who was sent by the Chicago Cubs to Wichita Falls Spudders a couple of years ago and then recalled. Rogers Hornsby hails from this section, his home being in Texas and if he cops the world's championship he will be the second Texan to accomplish the feat. That grand old veteran Tris Speaker did it several years ago with the Indians of Cleveland. TEXAS SELLS TEN FOR 1927.

It's like out of the frying pan into the fire for the Gentlemen of Centenary, for following on the heels of the Texas Christian University eleven comes a battle next Frulay with the S.

M. U. Mustangs and a week later the Gents tackle the Mississippi College eleven in Shreveport. On October 2.1 the Gentlemen play the Razorbacks of the University of Arkansas at Fayetteville and the grid folks who have followed the Razor-backs in their games with Louisiana State Tigers at the Fair here realize what a task Centenary faces.

Nugent McMillin, wjio shocked tlio footfaall world in 1921 when ho dashed across the Harvard goal line to score a touchdown and give the Center College Fraying Colonels a victory over the member of the Big Three has corns back to plant his mark against fair Harvard's success in the Rrld world. This time McMillln's scored as a. teacher. Saturday afternoon the Geneva college eleven, coached by McMillin, turned back Harvard by a score of 16 to 7.

It was as great a. surpriso as the vlctorv scored by McMillin In 1921. It proves that the Texas "Bo" who directed pigskin actlvitiea at Centenary for threo years, prior to going to Geneva, Is as great a teacher as pupil.

LOUISIANA TIGERS TOO STRONG FOR S. L. I. BULLDOGS Baton Rouse, Oct. 2 (JV).

L. S. U. played brilliant football to pile up a score of 27 points against Southwestern Louisiana Institute in the first half here Saturday and managed to put over another touchdown in the final half, which wns played in a downpour of rain. The final score was 84 to 0.

The Tigers nut over two touchdowns in the first three minutes of play. Before the game had been on two minutes, Connell had crossed th Bull Dog line for a score after the ball had been brought down the field by Haines and Godfrey with long runs, inside of another minute Hsincs had crossed the line again. Tht other touchdowns in the first half were made by Godfrey and Mason, and in the last cyiarter Godfrey went over for another touchdown. The third and fourth quarters were erratic, featured by much fumbling, owing to the driving rain, which drove most of the crowd of 4,000 under the stands. In the third quarter, following a 15-vard ocnaltv.

the Tigers were pushed to the ahadow of their goal ine. but the uuu uogs were uohuib to crash yi on their opportunity, being thrown for losses at every attempt. The last quarter was a melee of fumbles and neither side was able to show any form. The Tiger goal line was once endangered by a fumble, but Southwestern also fumbled and the Tigers recovered. For Southwestern, A.

Dttpuis and Thcrlot in the bnckfield and Tabcr, right tackle, were luminaries. Tho entire L. S. U. backfield played splendidly, Haines.

Jerry the Creek, his adviser and trainer, fell ill at the amo time. On the same day Captain Charles J.

Mabbutt, head of the Dempsey training enmp, suffered severe abdominal pains and wns kept under a doctor's care for several days nnd then rushed to Walter Reed hospital at Washington. A poison rash has since broken out over his kidneys. Universal Service carried a-story at the time that Captain Marhutt was taken mysteriously ill. It was then known in the Dempscy camp that Dempsey and Jerry the Greek were also ill but that news did not get outside the camp then because Dempsey swore all his friends to secrecy. In atfdition to all this, Demnsey was subjected to a great deal of mental anguish.

He was chased into the Jersey meadows to hide for hours to dodge a body attachment a few days before the battle. The day before the fight he received a message that his wife wns in danger of being killed by a Chicago woman. He was also informed that plans were made to "bump him off before he entered the ring.

It was Herb Pennock'D third victory without a defeat in a World Series. He goes back to 1U14 in the big league, and to service with the Philadelphia Athletics. Hb comes from Kcnnett Square, a pleasant, peaceful little place in ti outskirts af Philadelphia, an old-time Quaker: settlement, where he riues his houses to the hounds, and raises silver foxes as commercial diversioa a gentleman farmer, forsooth, and a iirat-class Ditching man, He stands on the mound, his scrawny arms dangling full ength at his sides, ttne apparently weighted thi-re by his oil pchlng glove, the other by the ball, he surveys the brttsman pernaps 'he great Rogers Hornsby, king of the old league pounders, or the slugging Jim Bot-tomlcy, with hi.) cup uslant on his brow, or the dashing Douthit.

His jaws are working on a wad of gu a but otherwise Pcnnac'i stands quite motionless for the pace of several seconds, a spidery looking fellow. Suddenly his arms flutter over his head, hi body twists, and ow the left arm swings far outward describing an arc. only to come down, lash-likc o.er his shoulder, releasing the bail with such a snap that you think you hear it go "pop." A groat lefthander, this fellow, Herb Pennock, gentleman-farmer, and master of the situation at the Yankee stadium tha Kite. noon. He fluttered briefly in the i'irst and the- hopes of the St.

Louis Cardinals were very hih at the close of that inning when they had a one-rnnTtvnd. Then the Yanks got a run in their side of the game inning aid they tlurted all over again. From that moment Pennock was the but cleat-to-cleat with him on the mound stepped another his own pitching ilk, Bill Sherdel, of the Cardinals, a great young left-hander, who had much to do with the winning of the National le. gue pennant by the CWinals this year, the first -line St. Louis has had baseball pennant in 33 years.

the frst to the sixth it was p'lch and toss Pennock and tTnardel, but with the man from Square always saeming to somehow have a faint advantage. In the s'xth that mighty man, Corgo Herman Btib? Ruth, riding a mountain of cheers, blasted a single to left. Long Bob Meusel, the Californian, followed with a sacrifice, and Lou Gchrlw, the Columh'a collegian, scored Ruth with a single to right, A skimpy lead, you might say, bu'. enough for Pennock. Rogers Hornhby, the great young leader of the Cardinals, playing this series in the shadow of a heavy sorrow, tried a lrst minute nsrnult on Pennock's pitching with pinch hitters, but it tailed.

As tlie last man was retired big simcnts of the- crowd of over 60,000 that saw the game broke off from th bleachers and grandstands and rolled over the yard looking for Pennock, but the gentleman farmer quickly made himself 'scarce through the tunnel under the stand behind the Yankees bench. This particular game proved nothing, except that the Cardinals can not hit Herb Tennock's left-handed pitching, for that matter, the Yanks had no astonishing success in hitting Bill Sherdcl's left-handed pitching. The teams, in point of general strength, seemed about a toss-up today You can not get much of a "bang" out of pitching duels, whether they are left-handed pitching duols or right-handed pitching duels, so as a thriller the show today was a bit dis appointing. Much was expected of the meeting between George Herman Ruth and Rogers Horasby, the greatest left and right-handed batters of the era, vet even this was something of a fizzle. They met all right, and shook hands.

True George Herman Babe Ruth scored the winning run an Rogers Hornsby couldn't get a hit, yet there was something lacking. The' youngsters on the two clubs, about whom there has been much "Peculation, showed up well, although Lester Bell, the sensational young third baseman of the Cardinals, turned in an error. Personally I thought that added something to the game. Anyway, I no lover of perfection and precision In baseball and Herb Pennock seemed to be perfect. His perfection finally approached ruthlcssness.

I like to see the boys step around now nd then and make a few mistakes. The perfection was probably all right to the betting fraternity of dear old Islrnd, however, as the boys made the Yankees 7 to 5 favorites to take the first game. WINS $15,000 HANDICAP. Havre do Grace, Oct. 2 OT.

The El Dorado high school Wildcats ushered in the l'Jid football season with a 13 to victory over the Bull Dogs from the Arcadia, high school on Rowland field here this afternoon. In spite of the intense kent, both teams put up a hard tip-lit. There were flashes of good football cheered by a goad opening day crowd. El Dorado was the first to score, The first touchdown came near the end of the first quarter, when a Bull Dog fumbled a punt and Kinard, local end, scooped up the oval to rncs 20 yards and cross the final while lino.

In this same quarter Mrrtindaln, for the locals, carried the hall ncrois, but El Dorado was penalised fur clipping from the rear and the score not count. The visitors scored near the end of the third quarter, when, on a fake field goal. Luckcy passed to Capers over the line. The Bull Dogs completed several forward passes, while El Dorado attempted only one pass. Lino bucks brought the second El Dorado touchdown near the close of the game.

Holmes carried the pigskin over after members of tho back-f i old had taken turns nt hitting the line for good gains. Luckcy, quarterback, was ejisily the mainstay of the visiting eleven and he was outstanding star of the game. Mar-tindalc and Kinard, ends, played best for the Wildcats, although the former, who is captain, had to be taken out on account of injuries, RAZORBACKS WIN FROM MISSISSIPPI BY WIDE MARGIN Fayetteville, Oct. 2 (Special). The Arkansas Razorbacks opened their Southwestern conference season here today with a smashing 21 to fl over Mississippi The Razorbacks out-played their heavier opponents at almost every stage of the game, and with the exception of a few minutes in second quarter, halted every Mississippi rally.

Arkansas did all her scoring in the second and fourth quarters, two touchdowns in the second ard one in the last. Cole kicked goal after each touchdown, in addition to scoring the last one. Smith, veteran Arkansas fullback, starting his first game of the season, played a big part in the victory, plunging over once and leaping hieh in the air pver goal line to catch Cole's forward pass for touchdowns. Donathan and Dhonnu also played brilliantly and reeled off several long runs. Cohen, the 2t0-pound MissiKsippl fullback, failed to plunge as had been expected, Captain Bnrke.

Unfortunately for Sherdel, the ball was on the outside, the very type pitch to enable him to hit through the wide space between third and short. Realizing his opportunity, as the ball seemed to hang in the air on its way to the plate, Ruth shifted his stance slightly and instead of taking his usual healthy swing, he merely pushed his bat at the ball, The timing was perfect and the ball went directly through the spot where the shortstop plays against anybody other than Ruth. It would have been impossible to have fielded the ball under any circumstances. As a matter of fact, tbe Cardinal Infield watched it travel slowly to the outfield with dismay written over their faces.

With Ruth on first, the Yanks elected to pky for one run. The slugging Meusel laying down a perfect built that advanced Ruth to second. i Manager Hugglns "figured one run would be enough for the courngeous Pennock, star southpaw of the American league. Gehrig gave the Yankees and Pennock that much needed one run margin when he hit safely to right, Ruth scoring. That was the big inning of the bail game, for it provided the deciding run with the two teams tied at ona all.

The rest of the scoring wag done In the first Inning when Sherdel's wildness allowed the Yankees to tally without a hit being needed. A double by Douthit and a single by Bottomlsy enabled St. Louis to score fts lone tally. By KARL L. SIIAUR, tt'nivrrsnl Kmlce Waff formuwnilwiM New York, Oct.

Dempsey would not comment on the poison episode tonight but said: "I have no alibis and no excuses for my defeat, It I should give any I would be criticised as belittling Tunney's victory and that is something I would not do." In connection with the pujson reports it is pointed out that none of the big bets which were made on Tunney were placed until 6 o'clock on tho evening of the battle and after word had come from Atlantic City that Dempscy was in no condition to enter the ring. Lota of things are beasnning to be talked here, things that were not reported before because Dempscy swore all his associates in Atlantic City to secrecy.

Closa friends are now revealing, however, that hours before tho fight Dempscy was advised by his physician to call off the battle. By BILLY EVANS. Yankee Stadium, New York, Oct. 2. Hale Ruth did it again.

The one and only Bambino In a large measure made' possible a Yankee victory in the first game of the worid scries. It wasn't a home run, Babe's usual wsy of breaking up a ball game, but what is known as a brain hit, a rather lazy grounder to left field. In baseball a "brain" hit is known as an attempt on the part of the batter to hit through open territory. This is just what Ruth did and it paved the way for the winning run. In delivering the all timely "brain" hit, Ruth merely did what Manager Huggins and the rest of the Yankees insist he should often try to do in an effort to break the defense that opposing teams always set up for the Yankee slugger.

When Ruth is up It is customary for the infields of rival teams to shift all out of position in an effort to cut down his chances to hit safely. Ruth Is ordinarily a right field hitter. At such times the first baseman plays on the foul line, the second baseman shifts almost over to the spot ordinarily "played by the first sacker, the shortstop is within a few feet of second, the third sacker being the only one to play regular. This is duo to the fact that there Is always the possibility that Ruth will lay down a bunt. With the infield maneuvering Into this unusual position, it is up to the pitcher to keep the ball inside, regardless of whether It is aurve, fast ball or slow one, thus forcing Rutn to pull the ball to right field.

There is always danger when using the fast ball or curve on the inside, for dynamite lurks in Ruth's bat and pitched above the knee it's his home run "groove" ball. 1 Sherdel, who had weathered a very HOUNDS FOR RACING MAY Vv a urrcs- BE HERE With work on the grandstand about complete, the paddock ready for occupancy, the first shipment of greyhounds for the dog races at the Jewells Kennel cluh is cxpecied to reach Shreve-port In two weeks, according to C.
